'''Nimloth''' was the [[White Tree of Númenor|White Tree]] which grew in the [[King's Court]] of [[Númenor]]. It was brought as a gift by the [[Eldar]] from [[Tol Eressëa]], in the form of a seedling from [[Celeborn, White Tree|Celeborn]] and planted in [[Armenelos]] as a symbol of friendship between the two races. Soon after [[Second Age 3262|S.A. 3262]], it was cut at the instigation of [[Sauron]] and his wood used to lit the first flames in the fire of the new religion which worshipped [[Melkor]]. However, the night before [[Isildur]] stole a fruit from the tree and when he escaped the [[Akallabêth|Downfall of Númenor]] he took it with him towards [[Middle-earth]]. Later he planted it in the courts of [[Minas Tirith]] and from that seedling grew the [[White Tree of Gondor]].

However, the night before [[Isildur]] stole a fruit from the tree and when he escaped the [[Downfall of Númenor]] he took it with him towards [[Middle-earth]]. The fruit grew into a seedling that Isildur carried to [[Middle-earth]] with him during the [[Downfall of Númenor]]. That seedling was planted in [[Minas Ithil]], and was destroyed before the end of the [[Second Age]]. Its seedling in turn grew into the first [[White Tree of Minas Tirith]].
